Jaroslav of Bezmíře, also known as Jaroslav of Benešov, was a Bohemian inquisitor and Bishop of Sarepta. [1] [2]
Jaroslav was appointed Bishop of Sarepta by Pope Boniface IX on 15 July 1394. He was considered a very active Bishop, and likely began to act as a inquisitor in 1407. [3] He advised Zbynĕk Zajíc of Hasenburg at the Roman Curia. [4] In 1410, he participated in the trial in Bologna that condemned the writings of John Wycliffe. [3]
A fictionalized Jaroslav, named Inquisitor Jaroslav, is portrayed in the 2018 video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance. [5]
In KCD we decided to make use of Jaroslav as a very active inquisitor, although the period of the game is somewhat earlier than the time that he was appointed and active as a Papal Inquisitor according to historical sources.
